Su Ciyue, who was sitting in the second seat from the lower left, looked up suddenly and accidentally knocked over the wine cup.

His long hair was neatly tied up with a silver crown. His thick eyebrows and eyes were honed by power and government affairs to be calm and resolute. He wore an official uniform that did not distinguish between genders, and looked somewhat androgynous.

He vaguely had the demeanor of the handsome prime minister with immense power in the storybooks.

Noticing the gazes from the people around her, she lowered her eyes to suppress her surging emotions, and with trembling fingertips she raised the wine glass that the maid had replaced to her lips.

Her affair with Shuangbao must not be known to the world!

"Xiaoshuang..."

Lu Yingxue murmured, and suddenly sobered up.

She stood up by holding onto the edge of the table and staggered towards the door. Her steps became faster and faster, and she began to run, stumbling.

But he stopped suddenly when he was only ten feet away.

In the end, he started running, but stopped when he was only ten feet away.

Lu Jie, the butler in charge of order at the banquet, came over from another direction. When he saw the familiar figure in the center of the red carpet, his fierce-eyed and bearded face twisted and he couldn't hold back the smile that he had been trying to adjust for a long time.

"Second Miss, is it really you?"

He shouted before Lu Yingxue.

Lu Lu subconsciously looked at Lu Yan next to him, and after getting confirmation, he shouted obediently:

"Uncle Lu, sister."

"Eh--"

Lu Jie raised his hand to wipe his face, tears streaming down his face with excitement.

Lu Yingxue strode forward and tentatively touched the girl's frozen white cheek. She looked so weak and fragile, just like the sickly little girl who liked to act cute in front of outsiders!

"You...Xiao Shuang, is it really you who came back?"

Lu Yingxue felt as if she were in a dream and couldn't believe it.

There has been no news since he was kidnapped at the end of last year. Although there are occasional news reports from various places, they have been confirmed to be either false information released by the enemy to confuse the public, or they are created by people who want to offer a reward.

After being disappointed again and again, she could no longer easily believe the news that Lu Ningshuang was still alive. Even if the other party was standing in front of her, she still had doubts.

Thinking that the woman in front of him was his own sister, Lu Lu smiled brightly and took Lu Yingxue's hand.

"Sister, it's me!"

The girl is kind, well-behaved, affectionate and compassionate. This is the attitude that a younger sister should have towards her older sister.

But for some reason, Lu Yingxue withdrew her hand calmly, her brain working rapidly, not understanding when the sickly boy had become so kind.

She basically never felt comfortable when she was with the sickly girl. The girl would always snuggle into her arms with a pitiful look or tears in her eyes, which made her feel uneasy as if her ethics and morals might be violated at any time.

"Welcome home, Xiao Shuang!"

Lu Yingxue touched the girl's head and smiled gently.

Xiao Xunlu, who was about to jump over the table and hug Sister Shuang, was pushed back to his seat by Zhao Yi.

Facing his wife's accusing eyes, he explained in a low voice:

"The second young lady has been missing for a long time. Now is the time for her to reunite with her family. As her good sister, you just need to stand by and wish her the best."

He keenly noticed that something was not right on the scene, and the sisters' reunion was not as enthusiastic as rumored.

However, this is not something he can control.

"All right……"

What Zhao Yi said made sense. Xiao Xunlu suppressed her emotions and sat back, but the cushion felt like it had thorns on it, making her twist and turn.

His movements were extremely exaggerated, making the cups clang loudly, and his heart was crying like a storm, "Sister Shuang, I miss you so much."

The guests were as steady as a rock, paying close attention to what was happening on the red carpet.

Even though some people lost their composure because of the return of the Second Young Lady, no one was rash enough to rush forward.

Finding that the expected chaos did not occur, Lu Yan frowned and looked around the room. How could this happen?

Most of the people present had been impressed by the Second Miss's talent, and a small number had crazy fantasies about her, so why did they act so calm?

If he didn't make things chaotic, how could he announce the return of the Second Miss with such strength and power, how could he leave an indelible impression on her heart, how could he make her cling to him for the rest of her life?

Lu Lu noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She weakly called out "Sister" and then looked at Lu Yan for help.

Lu Yan stepped forward, took advantage of the situation and pulled Lu Lu behind him, and explained in a deep voice:

"The second young lady lost her memory for some reason. Although I told her some things, she is still not familiar with the past."

Hearing this, the burly and ferocious-looking Steward Lu took out his handkerchief and started to cry, wailing non-stop:

"My poor second young lady, I don't know how much suffering she has endured. Woohoo, damned criminal, when I catch him I will cut him into pieces!"

Lu Yingxue smiled at Lu Lu soothingly, turned to look at the guests, and said apologetically:

"My younger sister has returned home after many hardships. I want to take her to meet my parents. Please enjoy your meal. I will not accompany you any longer."

"Master Lu, just go ahead!"

"Yes, the reunion of family members is the most important thing!"

Lu Yingxue fixed Lu Lu's hair and said softly:

"Xiao Shuang, come with me."

Lu Yan followed closely behind, and Butler Lu stayed in Qinxiang Garden to take care of the guests.

After the doorman reported, Lu Jianzhang and others came to the door of the dining room and waited eagerly. Mrs. Lu stood beside Lu Jianzhang irritably, clamoring to go back to her room to see her daughter.

"Madam, Shuang'er will be here soon, don't worry."

Lu Jianzhang tried to comfort her softly, but Mrs. Lu glared at him angrily and punched him in the chest.

"I think you have become stupid from fighting. Shuang'er is so young and weak, how can she leave the room?

Damn you Lu Jianzhang, did you take my daughter out to show off again? What kind of a father are you? You pissed me off!"

Facing his wife's punches and kicks, Lu Jianzhang smiled bitterly and held her in his arms, sighing secretly, "My wife is so strong, it would be better if she wasn't in a trance!"

"Yes, yes, I am a poor dad. It is only because of my wife's mending that I can act like a dad in front of my daughter! My wife is awesome!"

Madam Lu tugged at Lu Jianzhang's ear and snorted, "Slippery tongue! If you dare to lead my daughter astray, I'll make you pay!"

"I have always been good-looking, otherwise my wife wouldn't like me~~"

Looking at the flirting old couple, Zhu Wanzheng was full of envy. More than 20 years have not worn away the feelings between them at all. How strong is their relationship!

Commit to one person and be loyal to him/her till the end, no matter how the world changes.

in case……

"Are you jealous?" Qin Yushu secretly put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "We can do the same.

I am the youngest, I don’t have to support the family nor inherit the family business, you are all I need.”

"Well, I believe you."

Zhu Wanzheng responded softly, there are too many temptations and difficulties on the road of a couple's life together, and not everyone has the courage and perseverance like Duke Lu.

"Dad, Mom, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, look who's back?"

Lu Yingxue moved aside, revealing a slightly embarrassed girl.

She then shouted:

"Dad, Mom, Third Uncle, Third Aunt."

Qin Yushu frowned for a moment. Why wasn't he the sweet "third uncle" or "little uncle"?
